Abstract

Cementation is the last procedure and an important factor to access successful fixed prosthodontic treatment. Even though there are many kinds of luting materials in dental field, the resin cements are popularly used in now. Metals, polymers and ceramics are used as a material of fixed dental prosthesis. The bonding mechanisms between teeth and fixed restorations are composed of mechanical and chemical mechanism. In dentistry, we are relying on mechanical bonding, but we tried to get chemical bonding and many ways are introduced. So, we have to approach luting procedure differently by the materials of prosthesis for clinical success. In this article, let us think the proper cementation ways according to each prosthesis material.
